Case Study: SUNY New Paltz streamlines construction document management with Oracle Construction and Engineering’s Primavera Submittal Exchange Cloud Service

SUNY Paltz and Primavera Submittal Exchange Cloud Service

SUNY New Paltz, a campus in the State University of New York system, was managing a major construction boom with about $300 million in planned projects over eight years. Its small Facilities team needed a better way to handle the heavy flow of submittals, drawings, notices, and closeout documents while reducing manual effort, avoiding lost files, and moving projects through the backlog faster. To improve document management, the university turned to Oracle Construction and Engineering’s Primavera Submittal Exchange Cloud Service.

Oracle Construction and Engineering implemented Primavera Submittal Exchange Cloud Service to centralize and automate construction document handling, notify contractors when submissions were due, and make the latest files instantly accessible. The results were faster shop drawing turnaround, easier sharing of large photo sets, simpler closeouts, and less dependence on consultants and email-based tracking. With up to 30 active projects and 50 more in the backlog, SUNY New Paltz reported that the system helped its small team work more efficiently and focus on value-added work, with strong positive feedback from contractors and consultants.
